Airline Review - Air Nostrum BHX-BRU by Blake Edgington

Another airline review, but something a little different.

I don't know if he ever visits F4A

Last year he was on the same Jet2 flight as me from Malaga to Birmingham (the back of my head makes an appearance).

Hopefully he's not too upset about Mrs F, The Sprogs, myself and two suitcases crashing his round up report

Lots of backs of heads Ray. Many like mine.....bald. I agree with his comments on Malaga airport.

So, is one of these 'backs of heads' our own dear Ray Finkle?

I would have said 'hello' to him. I'm sure he would have been delighted to have met someone who watches his videos and he may have even joined F4A.

There was a chap in the duty free scene with "sprogs" but that was more of a back to side of head shot. He cropped up a couple more times afterwards, as if he was desperate to get himself on a video.

Good game this. Replaces spot the ball: Spot the Finkle.

So is Ray either the bald guy or the white hair guy?

Neither unfortunately

I'm not on any of the airport footage

I didn't know he was on there or I may well have. I saw him in the car park on the way back and wondered which flight he was reviewing but by then I just wanted to get home so didn't stop. It wasn't until a few weeks later when this video went up I noticed it was the same flight

I don't remember hearing about Storm Erik

Interesting stuff from flugsnug

It really is amazing that aircraft are allowed to land in such awful conditions. It looked like at mini hurricane at BHX on that day, atrocious weather

 

[TheLocalYokel]

Even the mightiest aircraft are no match for Mother Nature when she is in one of her vindictive moods.

The Emirates 380 was bouncing around as much as the smaller aircraft. A few years ago one of our EK 380 trips experienced moderate turbulence (it seemed to us like severe turbulence so I'd hate to experience that if ours was merely moderate) for almost nine hours non-stop over the Indian Ocean and environs, with cabin staff strapped in their seats for part of the time.

A huge thank you to Ryan for his ability to lift my morning mood with an excellent presentation of 4 engines on some of the finest aircraft.

I particularly enjoyed the AVRO or was it BAe 146? Best of British me thinks!

Only spoilt by a typically dreadful internet service from BT.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Fantastic

Thanks for posting it.

Footage from flugsnug of the Flybe flight from Belfast to London that diverted in with engine failure.

Some movements caught on the 24 June 2019.

Great video, Ryan. Thanks for sharing.
I note the Police helicopter is G-POLD. Shame the letters arn't in a different order - it could have been G-PLOD.

I don't think they plod any more. Never seem to see one on foot these days, except for the occasional PCSO who aren't actually police officers.

First Choice once had an A 320 based at Bristol: G-OOAR.

Indeed, a super video, Ryan. Thank you for posting it.

Which service does the Sprint ATR operate?

The Sprintair ATR had come in from Katowice to pick up cargo & then flown to Warsaw. New videos coming soon, one just with the DC-3.

Great video. Watching the chopper take off really does show the fragility of those aircraft. And did it hit a bird it 8.44 ?
